Myth about crocodile tears

We often hear the phrase " crocodile tears " or ಮೊಸಳೆ ಕಣ್ಣೀರು in Kannada.

The term is used to say about cheating of people when they ask for help saying their problems with tears in their eyes.

Not all but nowadays many people follow the same strategy .

Now we will look at whether and when a crocodile cries?

Crocodile produce tears when they eat. They tear apart flesh and eat large part of meat at once. They cry because they swallow too much air. The air touches the glands which produce tears and forces tears to flow down.

They swallow some stones to ensure fast grinding of food in their stomach.
